Study Notes
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in dental laboratories includes: disposable gloves, utility gloves, masks, and lab coats/jackets.
- Disposable gloves should be used for direct contact with contaminated items, changed and disposed of appropriately after procedures, and hands washed before and after use.
- Utility gloves are for cleaning/disinfecting equipment and surfaces.
- Masks, protective eyewear, and lab coats/jackets must be worn during fabrication processes, changed daily, and not worn outside of the lab.
- Unit-dose concept is used to minimize cross-contamination by dispensing enough material for a specific procedure before patient contact and disposing of excess.
- Chemical disinfectants must be effective at killing microbes and not damage impression materials or resulting gypsum casts.
- All employees must be properly trained to handle disinfectants and they must have EPA registration numbers and intermediate-level of activity for tuberculocidal disinfection.
- Incoming items are rinsed, disinfected, and annotated with the disinfectant and time used, while outgoing items are cleaned and disinfected before delivery to patients.
- Impression materials can be affected by composition, concentration, exposure time, and compatibility with specific disinfectants, and manufacturers should be consulted regarding compatibility.
- Disinfecting impressions can be done by spraying, dipping, or immersing, but immersion disinfectants should only be used once before discarding, except for glutaraldehydes.
- Dimensional stability is not significantly affected by immersion technique, but some materials show distortion, and some adverse effects have been reported on certain materials when immersed in specific disinfectants.
- Different materials require different disinfection methods: alginate, zinc oxide eugenol, impression compound, and elastomeric materials like polysulphide and addition silicone.
- Exposure time to disinfectants should be based on the manufacturer's recommendation for tuberculocidal disinfection, and iodophors, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and phenols are common disinfectants.
- Polyether materials cannot be immersed in disinfectants due to potential absorption and distortion.
- Disinfection is important to prevent the spread of infection and ensure proper fitting and function of prostheses.
